Coaching history
Following his senior year, Ray stayed at MSU for two more seasons to serve as a graduate assistant under women’s basketball coach Kim Griffee.
Ray then moved to Lon Morris College in Jacksonville, Texas, where he was an assistant coach under Vic Trilli for two seasons.
Ray returned to MSU in 1988 to become Dr. Gerald Stockton's full-time assistant coach. Ray helped Stockton get the Indians program back on a winning track and make appearances in the NAIA National Tournament semifinals in 1993 and 1994.
Ray took on the additional duties of coaching the women's program in the 1992-93 and 1993-94 seasons. Ray's two seasons at the Lady Indians helm were two of the program's finest ever, with his teams posting 22-8 and 28-6 records and qualifying for the NAIA national tournament both seasons. Ray also coached the Lady Indians only 1st Team NAIA All-Americans in Serena Carter (1993) and Lynn Buckmaster (1994).
Following the retirement of Stockton in 1994, Ray relinquished the reins of the women's program to take over the men's team. Over the course of six years, Ray's teams posted a record of 118-60, a winning percentage of .663. Ray's teams averaged nearly 20 wins per season and made two appearances in the NAIA National Tournament and two appearances in the NCAA Division II national tournament.
Ray then spent a season at the University of North Texas as an assistant coach, again under Vic Trilli, and about six months in the private sector before returning to MSU in 2002.
In Ray's first season back as head coach the Indians compiled a 16-12 record and finished fourth in the Lone Star Conference South Division.
